[Sisuite-users] using a loop mounted .img file as the client image

Title: using a loop mounted .img file as the client image

Hi,

Due to the fact that OSCAR uses a version of SIS in which si_getimage
does not work properly, I'm looking at other ways to generate an image
from a golden client.
I had an idea to used dd to create a .img file from the system disk on
my golden client, then move that image to my image server and loop mount
it on /var/lib/systemimager/node-image.  This seems like it would make a
nice replica of my client system that SIS could then push out to other
nodes.

Does anybody have any opinions on why this would or would not work?

Thanks,
Dan
